Tomatocage account banned?

[alani123]

If this was done by an automated system that was put in place then I guess it effectively protected the original owner of the account. I guess theymos could shed some light on this

I believe so, and it's a similar case where you can't register a new account from a TOR IP. It would be nice to get official confirmation on this though.

Glad you got it sorted. That could have been a big mess.

I don't know anything about automatic banning of accounts when they access the forum via tor. However I do know that known exit nodes almost always are going to have enough units of evil to require them getting white listed it needing to pay a fee. There might be something in place to stop people resetting passwords with secret questions via tor, especially after the recent hack.

The forum really should Implement some kind of 2FA for a select few highly trusted accounts. This would probably not be as difficult to implement as 2FA for everyone and there are a few accounts that could do a lot of damage if hacked.

My account was locked out for a few hours as well yesterday.  I changed my password from work, got locked, sent the email, Theymos reactivated and I reset my pw and question when I got home.  Maybe it had something to do with trying to switch the pw with a different IP I normally do not log into?

Whenever I try to register a account through TOR this is the message I am receiving now. I no longer receive I need so send "x" amount of BTC to the specified address. Could be related to the recent attacks on the forum.

Automatic unproxybans are temporarily disabled. Try again in a day or two. If you know a member of the forum, have them post in Meta on your behalf and someone will whitelist you manually.

Good news. Glad that it was dealt with so swiftly, well done Badbear, this could of gone a lot worse that it did. I've removed my negative trust. Welcome back Tomatocage.

2FA is a nice idea, It's already implemented by some xenforo and mybb forums for example Hackforums.net to avoid SCAM, hacking attempt etc.
